Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes Total time: 30 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients: - 450 g ravioli (preferably cheese or spinach-filled) - 10 slices of prosciutto - 150 g grated parmesan - 200 g buffalo mozzarella, diced - 12 cherry tomatoes, halved - 1 bunch of fresh basil - Extra virgin olive oil - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Instructions: 1. Preparing the ravioli: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add a teaspoon of salt to season the water. Add the ravioli and cook according to the package instructions (usually between 3 and 5 minutes). Make sure not to overcook them so they remain al dente. Once done, drain them and reserve a few tablespoons of the cooking water to adjust the sauce later. 2. Preparing the fresh ingredients: While the ravioli are boiling, prepare the fresh ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the grated parmesan, diced mozzarella, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped basil leaves. Gently mix to avoid crushing the ingredients and season with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a few drops of olive oil to enhance the flavors. 3. Preparing the prosciutto: Cut the slices of prosciutto in half. In a large skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the prosciutto and fry for 2-3 minutes or until it becomes slightly crispy. This will add a delicious texture to your dish. 4. Assembling the dish: In a large bowl, combine the drained ravioli with the tomato, mozzarella, and basil mixture. Add the crispy prosciutto, gently mixing to avoid breaking the ravioli. If the sauce seems too dry, you can add a little of the reserved cooking water to achieve the desired consistency. 5. Serving: Divide the ravioli among plates and finish with a drizzle of high-quality olive oil. If desired, you can also add a few whole basil leaves for a beautiful presentation. This dish pairs wonderfully with a dry white wine that will complement the flavors of basil and prosciutto. Practical tips: - You can use ravioli with different fillings, such as mushrooms or meat, to vary the recipe. - If you want to add a touch of acidity, try drizzling the dish with a little balsamic vinegar before serving. - Feel free to adjust the proportions of the ingredients according to your personal preferences. This recipe for ravioli with prosciutto, tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella is not only a delight for the taste buds but also an excellent way to bring a bit of Italy to every meal.
